Volume 4: No One Survives in Fantasy High School Chapter 25 The Truth (Part 2)
"…So you're claiming that you're innocent?"
After thinking for a while, Li Lin looked at the smiling old principal and asked directly:
"You think your actions were correct, but you were troubled by malice and rumors, and that you made all kinds of mistakes because they were not from your heart. And the deaths of others were only your own fault?"
"No, I think you misunderstood, Li Lin. I have never said that I am an innocent person. On the contrary, I am guilty and my crime is unforgivable. As long as people are born in this world, no one is innocent. On the contrary, I admit that I am guilty. There is no one in this school who is not stained with blood. Each of them may have killed countless people. We are all murderers."
"Why?"
"Because we still have our duties, and our duties are sacred and inviolable. Even if we are disturbed or infected by the etymology and some terrible existence, we will never give up the work at hand. Instead, we will deal with them in a way that suits our status."
"This sounds a bit like..."
Looking at the smiling principal, Li Lin thought for a moment and felt that he couldn't find any appropriate adjective.
Facts have proved that the main body of the strange phenomena here is this campus. The entire campus is a huge weirdness and ready-made horror, but because of the constraints of core logic and mysticism, they are not harmful.
What makes people feel even more uncomfortable is that these people seem to know exactly what they are doing. But no one wants to make any changes to this phenomenon. This feeling is not so much a group of AI that has been set by people, but rather a more serious cycle, but only with self-awareness...
“A phenomenon.”
The principal said directly.
"We are just a phenomenon. We died a long time ago, but we are not pure immortals. We have all kinds of contradictions and irrationalities, that's because we died a long time ago. As you can see, we are all immortals."
"You have to know that there will always be some petty strong people who cannot kill others, but will inflict violence on the weak. So we have died a long time ago, but we are still alive. Because some obsessions keep us alive. There is a reason why we can teach those strong people who are as numerous as the stars. They have a strong desire for knowledge, and we also want to educate them."
"Many factors have allowed us to survive until now, and some undead are still adding knowledge to the library. If it weren't for the change in the etymology, we might be able to call ourselves a world like heaven, accepting students from all over the world. But now the etymology has changed, and this place is no longer a pure land. It's better to say that it has become a devil's cave. Due to the limitations of the phenomenon, our punishments and rulings on all school rules are the strictest, but the basic functions are still there."
"That's true, if you say so."
Indeed, as long as you don't violate school rules, everything seems to be easy.
Whether it was in class or practicing magic in the dormitory, he was very relaxed about everything else, but he followed the school rules to an almost pathological degree. If you broke the school rules, there would basically be no good consequences.
Moreover, even the monsters in the nightmare world are easy to talk to. Even if the legendary value is high, if he can be frightened into submission, it does not mean that he is a bold and reckless person. In other words, everything here may just be some kind of protection measure, or a variant of the defense system.
Theoretically, there is no problem with the emergence of such a defense system and school rules correction system in a fantasy campus.
But is it really okay to just listen to his one-sided story?
"If you still have any doubts, you will soon see the attack launched by those righteous people on us. Ah, maybe you can join them in your current appearance?"
As if seeing Li Lin's doubts, the principal said directly:
"You look more righteous than those righteous soldiers right now. They will definitely not recognize you."
"What's the meaning?"
"Use your own eyes to see if this school is worth staying in. I know that you are investigating from an extremely large and terrifying place. I also know that there are some beings watching here, and you are a fair and merciless judge. Then you can get the correctness from both sides."
After all, one person's opinion doesn't count. Truth can only be obtained through practice, right?
The old principal smiled in a friendly manner, and almost the next moment, a fine crack appeared in the gloomy sky.
It was as if the sky was just a mirror that had been cracked with countless cracks. In the cracked light, some figures could be vaguely seen falling from the sky, streaking across the sky like meteors and gathering somewhere in the forest. This sense of déjà vu made Li Lin blink his eyes, and he felt that something seemed very familiar.
"We are often used as a base for various schools, and students are often sent here to steal books or monitor the situation here. But you are the first one who comes here to study and talk nicely. Therefore, Article 27 of the school rules prohibits the use of large-scale teleportation or terrain-changing spells on campus. They have been included in the attack list. If you are interested in seeing the world from the perspective of the justice camp, you may want to see how they see us."
I'll just deal with the mechanisms and traps first, then I'll excuse me.
The old principal bowed to the White Knight who was sitting in a chair in deep thought, then stood up and walked to a bookshelf. He began to gesture to the void, and a series of curses and traces kept flashing, indicating that the originally silent mechanisms were gradually opening up.
"What will happen if someone here dies?"
"Many years have passed here, and many people have died. But they will always come back. Because this school is just a phenomenon. 'In this area there will be Gaode Middle School and these teachers to teach students', and we are just part of the phenomenon. So even if you kill everyone, we will still be here. And the memory will never fade."
"...Okay, I understand. I'll go over there and take a look at the situation. After I get all the information from both sides, I'll write an investigation report and submit it to the university board of directors. At least what you have here is worth preserving."
In the name of a teaching assistant at Kuwait University.
Li Lin nodded, then stood up and walked out of the principal's office accompanied by countless lights and hymns.
